Is it ok to put iPad 2 in a plastic bag in sleep mode?

Is it ok to put iPad 2 in a plastic bag in sleep mode. Will it overheat? Or should I turn it off completely? I need to seal the iPad in a 1 gallong plastic bag to protect it from rain, and I am worried about it overheating in sleep mode, since it is still running some functions.
thanks, Kevin

I'd like to slightly echo the comments from "Tex." I have a possibly illogical objection to putting any heat-producing object inside a plastic bag. If there is some reason why you don't want to turn the iPad off, leave the bag cracked open and hold it with the opening down (but carry it such that the iPad doesn't fall out).
I had a friend that went by the nickname "Tex." He was from Louisiana but didn't want to be called "Louise!"

IPad 2 won't go into sleep mode while charging

In the past couple of days my iPad 2 will not go into sleep mode while it is charging. The screen will go dim, but never go black. Any suggestions? I know I can just push the button on the top to force it into sleep mode and it will, but I've never had to do that before. I've had this iPad for over a year.

this is a software glitch, i suggest holding the home button and power button together untill you see the apple then let go, do not slide to power off, if all else fails you might have to restore the device to factory settings, still doesnt do that then its a hardware issue, and its probably going to be 250$ or more to replace

I dropped my iPhone in the toilet. I pulled it out right away, dried it with the hair dryer, and put it in a plastic bag with rice. Is there anything else I should do?

Once in water you will always have issues. I would replace it. Your homeowners insurance may cover it.

Ipad is not connecting to wifi in sleep mode after iOS 6 update

I used to be able to receive FaceTime calls when ipad was in sleep mode but ever since this past update I don't. I had problems like everyone else wi connecting to the Internet but I was able to fix that. Is there any way the ipad can stay connected while in sleep mode.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Smart Cover doesn't put iPad into Sleep mode in Unlock position after iOS 8.3 update

Prior to the iOS 8.3 update, closing my Smart Cover would put my iPad into Sleep mode when in the Unlock position. Since the update, this function no longer works in the Unlock position. In the Lock position, I hear the click and the iPad does go into Sleep mode. Since I am the only one using my iPad, I don't need it locked when at home. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

hi guys. i'm back.
i solved my problem. i refer my iphone 5 to a local distributor. a repairman checked my iphone and i described my problem. he checked my battery. it was fine! then after an hour excavation around hardware solution he told me that the charging kit crashed because of heavy mobility usage!
yes. i did not covered my phone with any cover. the cpu pressure by ios update crashed the kit! now my phone get back after the kit changed and work finally. i restored my phone to ios 8.2 now.
i'm going to buy new iphone. but i'm really confused if such this issue really happened for iphone 6 too!!!!!

Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the ASUS

Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the new ASUS tablet/phone combo ?
As a Quadriplegic I keep dropping my mouth stick on the ground and I fumble for my phone when it rings the table on my wheelchair is cluttered with my iPad iPhone mouth stick and TV and AC remotes I want to be able to put my iPhone in my bag and receive calls threw the iPad.
All new electric wheelchairs allow you to pair the joystick or chin control of the chair to only one device so currently you have to sacrifice your use of one to use the other if we can pair the iPhone and iPad by wifi we can then sit the iPad in a mount on our wheelchairs and pair it ia bluetooth and operate them with ease .
Can anyone out there help me or pass on my needs to a development team within Apple, please help as I don't want to have to buy the ASUS tablet/phone
Paul

I would like to be able to do this also but, i'm not sure how to set my iPad to manually sync for one thing and also, when I connect my iPad to my new (recently purchased,first time,new to this) iMac it only gives me the option to either set up as 'new' or 'restore to my recent iPhone back up'. I just want them to be separate. How can I fix this please?

HT4082 Way to put Ipad apps on Iphone/Ipod

Hello everybody: Does anyone know a way that works to put Ipad apps on Ipod 3? I desperetly want to play chocabo panic It's the only game that I serusly want that won't work on my Ipod. I have know one to play with anyway. Any help would be apreated.

Sorry jenmoon, but that app appears to only be made to work on the iPad. Many apps (as you probably already know) have been designed by the developers to work on all iOS devices. Apparently this one has not.
Here is a link to the developer's site. Perhaps you can provide feedback to them via this site:

Was using Ipad and put in sleep mode and it has shut down and wont turn back on

I was using my Ipad last night and put into sleep mode when finished. Was charged at 98% and now will not turn back on. I have tried resetting but nothing works.

Resetting like this?
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen Then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

IPad won't go into Sleep mode

After using an App made specifically for the iPad and then try to turn off/put my iPad to sleep, it does not react at all. If I then start an App which was designed for the iPhone, then pressing the button on the top of the iPad leads directly to the iPad switching to sleep mode.
This does not happen with all iPad apps. Any ideas? I've tried it with several different iPad apps and it happens with some of them. All iPhone apps have no negative effects on the iPad sleep mode, which tells me that there has to be a problem with some of the iPad apps.
thanks for the help.

Try a cold reboot. Same as turning off the iPad except keep holding down both buttons (side on/off and top screen Home button) until you see the Apple logo (it will go through the "Slide to power off" thing first- keep holding down). It should reboot automatically when you let go after the logo appears. This can take some time so be patient.

Getting the ipad to stay in standby/sleep mode

I use my Ipad as an alarm clock when I am on the road. I put it in standby mode but it keeps coming out which is annoying when you are trying to sleep. How do I get it to stay in sleep mode but still wake me up?

Dedington-
If you double click the Home button, a list of recent Apps shows up across the bottom of the screen. If you press and hold on one, they start to wiggle and a red minus sign appears on each. Tap the minus sign of all Apps other than the one for your alarm clock. That removes them from the list, and stops any that might be running in the background.

Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

I think I have the same problem. The whole sequence is:
* Put MacBook Pro to sleep by closing lid.
* After some period of time that varies, I notice sleep LED is no longer pulsing.
* The case is VERY hot.
* When I open the lid, the display stays black.
* No sequence of keys or closing/opening lid wakes display.
* Only way to recover is to power cycle.
* Problem is VERY intermittant -- I do not know how to reproduce it at will. AppleCare service had it for a whole week and couldn't reproduce it, whereas for me it occurs once every 1 or 2 days.
Actions:
* AppleCare service replaced the main logic board in early June, but it didn't help.
* I did a clean erase and install, but it didn't help.
* AppleCare service had the unit for a full week in July and couldn't reproduce the problem, so they returned it and it still had the problem.
I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, don't know model other than M-RBB93. I'll UNset "Allow Bluetooth to wake..." and will also turn off the bluetooth mouse before closing lid. I'll post my results.
Meanwhile, please let me know if anyone determines a solution!

Sleep mode on ipad

Does anyone know if the iPad can be put into sleep mode and on a timer, that will also wake the device on a timer?

Yes. In sleep, the display is turned off and it receives emails, updates, etc.

My IPad discharges even in sleep mode

My ipad2 discharges even in sleep mode. What can be the problem?

There are a few things that can run battery down.
Make sure Bluetooth is off. (Each time you allow location settings in an app, it turns Bluetooth back on)
If wifi connection is weak and the iPad searches for connection, that can run it down. Update or replace your router.
Close apps running in the background. Double click the home button, swipe pages up to close app.
Change notification settings so they are less often, manual.
Put your iPad in airplane mode when away from wifi connection.
